More than 50 students from 5th to 10th grad e participated in the workshop. The students were trained on various STEM activities including wireless communication\, home automation\, Electric c ircuits and Robotics. Four STEM trainers from School of Electrical Enginee ring and Computer Science (SEECS) at National University of Sciences and T echnology (NUST)\, Islamabad\, Pakistan conducted the activities. The work shop was aligned with UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) including no poverty\, quality education and reduced inequalities.\n\nFollowing object ives were achieved from this workshop:\n\n1. To create awareness among mid dle and high school students on STEM career\n2. To engage students and tea chers in inquiry-based activities based on Wireless communication\, Radar\ , Electronics\, Robotics\, and Internet of Things (IoT).\n3. To encourage student interaction with trainers\n4. To conduct healthy competitions base d on STEM activities\n5. To outreach IEEE (in general) and IEEE STEM initi atives (in particular) among middle and high school students and teachers\ n\nIt is expected that more than 80% students will pursue engineering as t heir professional career. The students and teachers appreciated the effort s carried out by the joint chapter team and expressed satisfaction for fut ure fruitful collaborations.\n\nStudent Welfare Society\, Rawalpindi\, Raw alpindi\, Punjab\, Pakistan\, 46000 LOCATION:Student Welfare Society\, Rawalpindi\, Rawalpindi\, Punjab\, Pakis tan\, 46000 ORGANIZER:nosherwan.shoaib@seecs.edu.pk SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:Circuits based STEM Workshop for School Children URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/416354 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-family: arial\, helvetic a\, sans-serif\; font-size: 12pt\;"><img src="https://events.vtools.ieee.o rg/vtools_ui/media/display/736e68a2-65c3-44c1-9249-1ee4b344b7b6" alt="" wi dth="1009" height="552"></span></p>\n<p><span style="font-family: arial\, helvetica\, sans-serif\; font-size: 12pt\;">IEEE MTT/AP/EMC/CAS Joint Chap ter Islamabad conducted a 1-day STEM workshop for Student Welfare School S ystem located in Rawalpindi\, Pakistan on 5th April 2024.
